uninstall image viewer

  • 772

In Ubuntu 17.04, image viewer suddenly does not want to display images anymore. It opens the file, but shows a blank screen, with black flickers when moving the mouse. All other programs are working fine (GIMP, inkscape, etc).

As image viewer came with the ubuntu installation I cannot find the package name to uninstall it and reinstall. Any help?

  2. You can uninstall Image Viewer (whose name in the GNOME project is Eye of Gnome, aka EOG), with this command:

    sudo apt purge eog
